notice that a certain regular customer had a

twenty cent check lquietly named over the
dishes be had had. and without word he
paid the hill and went ont. Then | called up
the waiter Who had served him, and was
going 10 discharge him for giving u wroug
check, hut he brought tine head waiter 10
prove that be had put the right one on the
table. At that n waiter from another part Of
the room came 10 the desk on an evrand and
overheard what we were talking about, and
Mt once was able to tell how the customer got
the twenty cent check. THIS other waiter
had served him with twenty cent lunch the
day before When tine young man bad

given him. although the waiter was sure he
had already given him one The customer
stole the first check in order to get n biz

Land Decision Affirmed.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-The Secretary
of the Interior has affirmed the deci-
sion of the General Land Office in the
case of Morte Kearce VS.. George r. Little
and Benami Edman, involving the west
half of the southeast quarter and the
south half of the southwest quarter of
section 81, township 10 south, range l
west, Salina district, Kansas. The COM
missioner, in April, 1885, held the claim
for cancellation, and from this decision
the plaintiff Kesrce appealed. The secre-
tary says he sees no reason for disturbing
the said decision, and then renders the
following relative to the other parties
in the rather complicated case:
s'The application of Dennis Sullivan to
have his relinquished homestead entry
No. 7S9 1-2. reins tated, and to be allowed
to make final proof hereunder can not be
granted. The case made by his petition
presents no such equities, as against the
intervening adverse claims of Little and
Edman, as would make it proper to per-
NIT him now to reassert rights which he
voluntarily abandoned. 1t was not they
who misled him into making the rein-
qushmsnt, and they. therefore, ought not
to be made to suffer in order that he may
at this late day revoke the action which
he chose to take on what he thought
sufficient information, even, therefore,
without reference to the sworn allegation
of Little that Sullivan sold his interest in
the land to one Frost, from whom that in
terest (such as it was) passed to Little's
father, and through him to Little himself.
The motion must be denied"

Figures and Suggestions From the Aunu.
al Report of superintendent Beu of the
Foreign Maii Service-The Estimate for
the Next Fiscal Year.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Nicholas M.
Bell, superintendent of foreign mails,
Post office Department, in his annual re-
port for the year ended June /, 1887, shows
that the total cost Of the service was
$425, So The total weight of the mails
conveyed from the United States to
foreign countries shows an increase in
the transatlantic mail of 1850 per cent.
in letters and 1926 per cent. of other
articles; for Central and South Ameri-
can countries 1921 per cent. increase in
letters and 20.49 per cent. of other
articles. The increased business re-
lations of the United States with
Central and South American
countries is further shown by the fact
that in 1883 there were 500 sailing vessels,
carrying the United States mails to these
countries, and in 1887 there were S31. The
report contains copy of the recent treaty
concluded between the United States and
Mexico, and alludes to the large retail
trade which has sprung up as result of
the facilities off cred for the unrestricted
exchange by mail of small packages of
merchandise. "The new treaty in effect"
says the report, "Inakes a unificiation of
the postal systems Of the two countries
into one postal territory. The
present SYSTEM" continues the
report, "of dispatching the trans
atlantic mails by the fastest steam
ers without regard to the flag under
which they sail, has given great satisfac-
ton to the people of the United States.
And much complaint has been made by
the commercial and financial interests of
the country on account of the different
policy pursued by some of the European
governments in combining the dispatch of
their mails for the United States to GER
tain lines of steamers without regard to
the speed of the vessels. The Central
and South American service is as
good as can be obtained under the
system of dispatching mails by
vessels when loaded" Frequently vessels
rendered to the department to convey
these mails on a certain day sail several
days before or after the time appointed, to
the annoyance and Inconvenience of corr
It is suggested as a
means of correcting this evil that the
Postmaster General be authorized by law
to allow an additional compensation
over and above that now allowed to
vessels engaged in this service, which
would make it to the advantage of the
companies to adhere to their
scheduled sailing dates.
Superintendent Bell takes strong
grounds in favor of parcel post conven-
lions between the several governments,
and especially of South American coun-
tries. This system, he says, would be an
important avenue for the extension of the
commerce of the United States. He points
out the advantages derived by foreign
governments which have this system in
operation. Superintendent Bell asks for
S647, 900 for the foreign mail service for
the fiscal year.
